<DIV>Hi Christopher,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm happy to hear you like our version of Geomoose! We can set up an
Intergovernmental Agreement with you so that we can send our data to you to get
the website started. Dean's directions below explain the steps pretty clearly.
Please contact me if you would like to move forward with the agreement, since it
takes about 2 weeks to get signatures and set up usually.</DIV>

<DIV>I will check with Krysta on how to make this work. It is using shape
files (Crook County's is PostGIS). The easiest way to make this happen
using Clatop's site as a starting point (if that meets your needs) is to do the
following...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Set up the GeoMOOSE demo site on IIS or Apache and make sure it
works. Apache is simpler. </DIV>
<DIV>2. Sign a data license with Clatsop to temporarily use their data (Check
with Krysta to see if this can happen. She has been out with the flue for the
last couple of days). </DIV>
<DIV>3. We will create a zip file of their site with data (no photos) and place
it on the FTP site. </DIV>
<DIV>4. You install Clatsop on your site (This will ensure you have a working
copy). </DIV>
<DIV>5. Become familiar with MapServer map files so you can start setting up the
cartography. </DIV>
<DIV>6. Read my notes that I used to customize Clatsop's site from what Houston
setup for the Oregon Consortium. </DIV>
<DIV>7. Give Houston, Kyrsta or me a call for help. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The buffer function is working fine for buffering around an individual
parcel/taxlot or around a group. For any further customization you may
want to contact Houston Engineering as they have done the Lion's share of
customization for the Oregon Consortium.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let me know if this works for you. </DIV>

to work with Houston to develop a project spec. As part of the last
project spec Houston will post enhancements, etc.. on the WIKI so
our members have an easy way to download enhancements and others can see
them. My hope is that other groups will take advantage of the community

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'">I think having a permanent or
semi-permanent support structure in place will only help and improve the
implementors experience which should translate to a better end user
experience. This has been an identified need for quite a while
within the group here. No lack of support for setting up a more
formalized support structure, it's just been more fun to develop.
The trick is putting it together in a way that doesn't impede
the development process, while still providing the resources needed for
the process. I think a sheperding approach would be the least
invasive to the process. It can also accommodate representatives
from different interested parties to decide priorities as well
future capabilities and options for improvements.</SPAN>

This would be a very good presentational piece for Denver as well,
even if the project couldn't be completed before then. Just relating

non-profit vendors available now that have done quite a bit of work
in the setup, development and research related to GeoMoose and it's
continued development, and this type of support has progressed the
project very nicely to date. Having said that I'm also aware
of the need to setup some dedicated support functions along the
lines of bug fixes, continued development and research into
additional capabilities as well as integration with other Opensource
as well as proprietary GIS services and systems. These
GeoMoose savvy groups also have some additional ideas and
capabilities already in the hopper related to improvements.
They are also very interested in hearing from people and
groups such as yourself with respect to desired capabilities of the
package. I would be interested in your specification (or
capabilities) wish list for example, regardless, purely for planning
purposes.</SPAN> <o:p></o:p></P>

have been in setting up some sort of shepherding arrangement with
the core developer group, that can handle a supporting roll in the
GeoMoose development process. Such entities already
exist, either as commercial and/or non-profits, and are interested
in this type of work arrangement. To date there hasn't been a
single large enough project or group of smaller projects with
similar enough interests to successfully sponsor the type of support
structure you are describing.</SPAN> <o:p></o:p></P>

have progressed much further down this road then we have and
